Reception
After Eid al-Adha the film screened at 30 cinemas in Cairo and other Egyptian cities. Fewer than three months after its release, the film generated over 10 million Egyptian pounds in revenues at the Egyptian box office, where it was the highest performing film in that period.
Nur Elmessiri of Al Ahram Weekly wrote that "Egypt has proven that it is capable of producing the cool-cute male, the attractive-cute female and the sassy/bratty-but-cute child, all recognisable members of global pop culture."
